BTS's J-Hope Recently Earned A New Nickname From K-ARMYs And It's Super Cute

BTS‘s J-Hope just earned himself a brand new nickname and the explanation for it will make you love it even more!

For the past 10 weeks, BTS has received #1 on Billboard HOT 100. Each morning after this happens, ARMYs anticipate J-Hope’s selfie expressing his shock and gratitude for the impressive feat. His captions, however, are where the origins of his new nickname can be found!

Hold on, what’s happening?

— J-Hope

Ending his captions with a bit of aegyo, or cuteness, he slightly changes the phrase “What’s happening” (museun il–iya). By adding an “m” onto the end, it becomes museun il–iyam, a much cuter way of asking the question!

Wait what’s happening (museun il–iyam)…?

— J-Hope

Since it sounds like “yam” at the end of the sentence, the totally adorable nickname “Yamyam-i” (얌얌이) was born!

Wait,,,,what’s,,,,happening??

— J-Hope

Even when posting different captions, he continued to add the cute suffix “yam” at the end of his sentence, showing that he’s doing it purposefully.
